Tell Your Story & Become a Published Author

~ change your life and others ~

Wellness G.P.S. (Get Prepared for Success) ~True stories of the heart, spirit, mind, and bodyy.

Co-Authors Peggy Willms and Markus Wettstein, MD, have over 60 years of experience in the health, wellness, and medical industries. The three-book All Things Wellness series is based on Peggy’s trademarked four-quadrant, 24-spoke wellness wheel—the ATW WheelTM. In addition to inspiring and motivating stories, Coach Peggy and Dr. Markus offer priceless content, downloadable worksheets, The Coach and The Doc health and wellness tips, book club questions, and recommended reading.

Book one of the All Things Wellness book series was launched in September 2022—The Four-Fold Formula for All Things Wellness. Book two, Wellness G.P.S. (Getting Prepared for Success), was published in June 2023. You can purchase both of them on Amazon, and soon you will have the last book of the trilogy in your hands.  Wellness G.P.S. will be launched in mid 2024.

It’s time to tell your story. Just as in books one and two, this book will consist of dozens of contributing authors sharing their personal stories of despair, tragedy, personal growth, or unforeseen obstacles, our authors share their triumphs with you. So why should you be one of our authors?

The benefits of becoming a Published Author:

  • You will have instant credibility.
  • You will be an authority.
  • You will gain celebrity.
  • You will make an impact by sharing your life experience.

Publishing can be discouraging:

  • Most authors submit their work dozens of times before being accepted by a publishing company.
  • Most publishing companies can charge upwards of $20,000 for publishing your work.
  • In most cases, an agent, an editor, and a marketing package are not included in publishing costs.

Why is our compilation book for you?

We provide editing, publishing, marketing, and media opportunities at no extra investment. Whether you have been an author before or this is a brand-new experience, we got you.

We also have multiple Media Partners with international platforms and a killer publishing team.

In addition to being published, you receive more benefits covered below.

What is Book 3 All About?

The ATW WheelTM framework consists of four sections/chapters—heart, spirit, mind, and body. Each story finds a home in one of the chapters. For example, if your story is based heavily on the trials and triumphs of a relationship, it will most likely be in the Heart section. Here is a breakdown of the six spokes in each of the four quadrants of the wheel.

Heart: Emotions, Relationships (human, animal, spirit), Stress, Self-Care/Self-Love, Coping Skills, Value & Integrity

Spirit: Purpose (goals and dreams), Beliefs & Faith, Talents & Gifts, Rituals, Creativity, Harmony (Work, Life, Play balance)

Mind: Mindset (thinking/attitude), Learning, Personal Growth & Awareness, Home Environment (routines), Habits (organization, planning), Work Environment (time management, job satisfaction, finances)

Body: Exercise, Nutrition/Diet, Medical Care (mental and physical health, diagnoses of all sorts: cancer, diabetes, thyroid, Eating disorders, etc., medication/medical mishaps, treatments, and more), Sleep (conditions, struggles, dream/nightmare states), Lifestyle.

Wellness G.P.S. brings it all together. The first two books of the series introduced the wellness wheel. If our wheels keep rolling along, we keep our wellness wagon on the path and continue to meet our health and wellness goals.

We love metaphors, so we had fun in the first two books, and it will continue in book 3.

The Four-Fold Formula, we compared wellness to baking. If you are missing even one ingredient in Grandma’s recipe, the cupcakes are simply not the same. Just like when you are missing one component of your wellness, you won’t feel your best or live your highest quality life.

Win the Wellness W.A.R., we spoke about how being healthy and happy doesn’t just happen. It takes awareness, education, strategy, consistency, emotional resiliency, and more. It sounded like planning for a battle or a war, and we wanted to be tactical. And we helped our readers win their wellness war.

Wellness G.P.S., we prepare you for success. When you get into your vehicle and you are headed in a new direction, the first thing you do is enter the address into your G.P.S. Along the way, you become aware of detours, dead-ends, and accidents ahead. Health and wellness is no different. Using the ATW WheelTM, not only allows you to see exactly where you are, but plan ahead and make sure you arrive at your destination, whether it be a goal to purchase a home, graduate from college, lose fifty pounds, or …

Again, we are seeking 30 people to share their personal stories. People connect with stories. They have been a part of our lives since we were little. Surely, someone read you a few fables in your early years. Change your life, and someone else’s just by sharing one of your extraordinary experiences about your wellness, well-being, spiritual awakening, relationships, and more. Your call—write about what inspires you…it just has to be true and personal.
